One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cammal who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
